A windshield repair apparatus (20) includes a bridge (22) for holding an injector (26) adjacent to a break area (32) of a windshield (30). The bridge (22) includes a suction cup (24) for mounting the bridge (22) to the windshield (30). The bridge (22) includes a pivotally mounted arm (50O) which allows for pivotal movement of the injector (26) away from the break area (32), and a registration system (76) which allows for accurate replacement of the injector (26) over the break area (32) following pivotal movement back toward the break area (32). A ball plunger (80) and detent mounting arrangement between the pivotally mounted arm and a remainder of the bridge (22) allows for registration. The suction cup includes a vacuum pump (90) for withdrawing air from beneath the suction cup (24). The injector (26) includes a clip securing a stopper to a body of the injector. The stopper includes peripheral lip seal at a first end of the stopper which is received by the body. The arm also is pivotally moveable toward and away from the windshield and is controlled by a threaded adjustment mechanism.

L'invention concerne un appareil (20) pour la réparation d'un pare-brise, comprenant un élément (22) en pont conçu pour fixer un injecteur (26) à proximité de la zone (32) fissurée d'un pare-brise (30). Cet élément (22) en pont comprend une ventouse (24) pour monter ledit élément (22) sur le pare-brise (30). L'élément (22) en pont comprend un bras (50) monté pivotant, qui permet à l'injecteur (26) de pivoter loin de la zone (32) fissurée, et un système (76) d'alignement, qui permet à l'injecteur (26) de se replacer exactement au-dessus de la zone (32) fissurée après que ledit injecteur a pivoté de nouveau du côté de la zone (32) fissurée. Un arrangement de détente à plongeur (80) sphérique, monté entre le bras monté pivotant et un reste de l'élément (22) en pont, permet l'alignement. La ventouse comprend une pompe (90) à vide pour retirer l'air du dessous de la ventouse (24). L'injecteur (26) comprend une attache pour fixer un bouchon au corps de l'injecteur. Ce bouchon comprend un joint à lèvre périphérique situé à une première extrémité du bouchon qui est emmanché dans le corps. Le bras pivote lui aussi à partir du pare-brise dans un mouvement de va-et-vient, commandé par un mécanisme fileté de réglage.
